Physical Characterization of Grid-Connected Commercial and Residential Buildings End-Use Equipment and Appliances
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing the final publication of a document entitled A Framework for Characterizing Connected Buildings Equipment. A copy of the Framework document is available at: https://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=EERE-2014- BT-NOA-0016-0047.
Request for Information: Updating and Improving the DOE Methodology for Assessing the Cost-Effectiveness of Building Energy Codes
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking input on how it may update and improve its methodology for assessing the cost- effectiveness (which includes an energy savings assessment) of residential and commercial building energy codes. DOE is directed by statute to provide technical assistance to states to support the implementation of model building energy codes. As part of this role, DOE conducts national and state-level analysis to assess the cost- effectiveness of building energy codes and proposed changes. DOE is interested in feedback on its analysis methodology, preferred sources of cost data, and parameter assumptions surrounding its cost- effectiveness assessment. In addition, DOE is seeking information on the general costs, benefits, and economic impacts associated with building energy codes. This notice identifies several areas where interested parties may provide suggestions, comments, and other information.
DOE Participation in Development of the International Energy Conservation Code
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) participates in the public process administered by the International Code Council (ICC), which produces the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). DOE develops and publishes code change proposals for the IECC, prior to submitting them to the ICC, to allow interested parties an opportunity to suggest revisions, enhancements and comments. This notice outlines the process by which DOE produces its code change proposals for the IECC, and otherwise participates in the ICC code development process. This process will be used when DOE participates in the development of the 2018 IECC and other codes developed by the ICC.
